In-Depth Information
To create a primary forward lookup zone by using Windows PowerShell, use the
Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone cmdlet. To create an Active Directory-integrated primary zone
for TailspinToys.com that allows only secure dynamic updates and is replicated to the entire
Forest, use the following command:
Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name 'TailspinToys.com' `
-ReplicationScope 'Forest' `
-DynamicUpdate 'Secure'
To create a reverse lookup zone, use the -NetworkID parameter. For example, use this
command:
Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -NetworkID 192.168.10.0/24 `
-ReplicationScope 'Forest' `
-DynamicUpdate 'Secure'
To create a file-based primary DNS zone for TailspinToys.com, use the following command:
Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name 'TailspinToys.com' `
-ZoneFile 'TailspinToys.com.dns' `
-DynamicUpdate 'None'
EXAM TIP
the Windows powerShell commands to create a DNS zone are fairly straightforward, but
there are a couple of places that can easily create problems for the careless exam taker.
For example, the -replicationScope parameter can't be used with the -ZoneFile parameter
because zone files are used for storage only when the zone is not integrated into active
Directory and replication is possible only for an active Directory-integrated zone. another
possible trip point is the -DynamicUpdate parameter. You can't have secure updates in a
file-based DNS zone.
Configuring secondary zones
Secondary DNS zones can be both forward lookup zones and reverse lookup zones. The most
common use of a forward lookup zone is to translate a device name into the IP address that
is represented by that name. A reverse lookup zone is used to obtain the device name when
you only know the device's IP address.
Secondary DNS zones depend on transferring the data for the zone from another DNS
server. That other DNS server must have enabled zone transfers.
To create a secondary forward lookup zone, follow these steps:
Open the DNS Manager console.
1.
Expand the server you are adding the zone to and right-click Forward Lookup Zones.
2.
Select New Zone from the menu to open the New Zone Wizard.
